result, a hill was drafted provldlnn

This hill passed the Semite but. died

Combines Until Plan.
That commission, If created, would
have been the means of bringing Into
cummltalloh the leading members of
the two branches of Congress and
the executive branch of the Govern
ment, and would, In fact, have estab
liKhed a budget system of supervising
'iovernment estimates, appropria
tions and expenditures.
President Tuft's idea of a budget Is
that the control should be In the
hands of the administrative depart
ment. Senator Hourne'B Idea was,
and Is, that Blnce the constitution
makes Congress the legislative
branch and empowers it to enact
legislation raising revenues and mak
ing appropriations, the committee
having supervision of the budget
should be composed of members of
the two houses of Congress. The com
mltteo. however, reported a bill com
bining the two Ideas, but giving the
two bouses of Congress six members
and the executive branrh three.
After Bpendlng the entire summer
In the study of this (ineslion. Senator
Hourne addressed the Senate In be
half of the committee bill and assert
ed, umong other things, that this sub
ject was one of the most Important
before Congress. Its Importance wnfi
not then realized by a very large
number of members,. although Signa
ler Aldrlch made the assertion that
the adoption of such a method of
supervising Government methods and
expenditures could be made to save
the Government $:0. 000,000 an
nually. Senator lioiline's estimate
wait Hint from J 100,000,000 to $200,
000,000 could be saved.

Advantage of th Man Who Knows

Among twenty clerks employed by
a New york importing buuHe It whs
no eawy matter for one to attract tut
attention of the manager. And It wan
not with any such Idea, in fact, that
young Haven kept his desk and the
pa pern in bin care In the must neat and
careful order. He did It Just because
hu had u systematic mind and liked
things In place.
lie wiih always nblo at a moment
notice to put his hand ou anything he
needed. Ho when the manager hap
pened to need a certain price list,
copies of which bad been given not
only to Caven. but to every one of the
other nineteen clerks. It was Oaveu

the others were Just beginning to won
der where they had put theirs.
There was no comment on that, but
a few days later when the mnnagcr
itgniti needed certain papers Cnven
found them first.
"Aren't you the man who gave me
that price list on Monday?" asked the
manager. "Yes!" "Well, my private
secretary lms Just been promoted, and
I need a new one. ft man who will
know where to find tilings. Would you
like the place?"
There was only one answer to that.
That was how Javen got his first step.

A frozen simp bubble broken lu two
nnd floating like un Iridescent, trans
parent eggHhell on ttio surfuce of a i
vessel ot liquid air wns one of tlie j
marvels ejlilbltcd by Professor Dewnr
Id a lecture before tlie Koyul Institute
of Great Krltiiln. j
Tlie lecture wus upon tlie subject of
atmosphere and the curious effects of
Intense cold, tlie liquid air and soap I
bubble being adjuncts introduced to fu- '
cltltnte some explanations.
A few sKonfuls of liquid air were
poured Into a vessel, nud the Intense
cold caused by evaporation immediate
ly brought on a mlnature snowstorm
In tho atmosphere directly above the
vessel. A soap bubble wns then placed
In the freezluR stratum. Almost in
stantly there was a change In tlie color
of the transparent globe, the bubble
becoming: much dnrker: the move
ments of the ruinbows film grew slow
er; it contracted somewhat In size, and
a little Inter It fro.e.
A slight but dexterous movement of
the roil upon which tlie bubble wns
suspended broke the latter Into two
pieces, which fell upon the liquid air
and there floated for an hour, gradual
ly nceiimiilntlng a tiny snowdrift from
the almost imperceptible precipitation
constantly going on In the freezing
atmosphere nliove.

Window Transparency, to be hung in
the window or in front of a lighted
lamp. Through it the light shines
as through the strained glass of a
cathedral window, softly Illuminating
the design a figure of Autumn laden
with fruits; and all around, wreathed
in purple clusters of grapes and green
foliage, is the circle of the months.
It Ib the most attractive gift ever sent

In One Species Its Bill Is Nearly as
Long as Its Body.
All humming birds, though varying
much In size and color, exhibit the
same form of wing, legs and feet, the
wings being strong (considering the
small size of the bird), while the legs
and feet are remarkably weak and del
icate, n clear indication that these lit
tle creatures are intended to spend al
most all their time In the air.
In accordance with this we find that
humming birds are never Been on the (
ground; that even when feeding they
seldom troublo themselves to alight,
but suspend themselves lu the nlr be
fore the tlower on whose Juices they
menu to feed, the rapid vibration of
tlie whips causing them to appear like
two fans of filmy gauze and producing
at the same (line that peculiar hum
ming sound from which these birds
derive their popular name.
The heak of most humming birds is
long, delicate and slightly curved to
ennblc it to reach the inmost recessei
of the trumpet shaped llowers which
abound in the tropical regions, but the
shape of the beak Is very variable,
probably on account of tlio particular
tlower on which the bird feeds.

and in one species, the sword bill hum
